Abstract
This invention relates generally to a structure and process for thin film interconnect, and more particularly to a structure and process for a multilayer thin film interconnect structure with improved dimensional stability and electrical performance. The invention further relates to a process of fabrication of the multilayer thin film structures. The individual thin film structure is termed a compensator, and functions as both a ground/reference plane and as a stabilizing entity with regard to dimensional integrity. The compensator is comprised primarily of a metal sheet having a metallized via pattern and high-temperature stable polymer as an insulator.
